If the instance uses cloud disks and was created on or after February 1, 2024, this parameter is automatically set to Lastest. If the instance uses local disks in the same scenario, this parameter is automatically set to None. For more information, see Backup for deleted instances.	None
LogBackupLocalRetentionNumber	integer	No	The number of binary log files that you want to retain on the instance. Default value: 60. Valid values: 6 to 100.
